Array2object and Object2array

Convert an associative array to an anonymous object and vice versa.

function array2object($array) {

    if (is_array($array)) {
        $obj = new StdClass();

        foreach ($array as $key => $val){
            $obj->$key = $val;
        }
    }
    else { $obj = $array; }

    return $obj;
}

function object2array($object) {
    if (is_object($object)) {
        foreach ($object as $key => $value) {
            $array[$key] = $value;
        }
    }
    else {
        $array = $object;
    }
    return $array;
}


// example:

$array = array('foo' => 'bar', 'one' => 'two', 'three' => 'four');

$obj = array2object($array);

print $obj->one; // output's "two"

$arr = object2array($obj);

print $arr['foo']; // output's bar


I had to modify the object2array so it would go recursive and transform objects inside of an array into array as well, thought I would share

function object2array($object) {
if (is_object($object) || is_array($object)) {
foreach ($object as $key => $value) {
print "$key\r\n";
$array[$key] = $this->object2array($value);
}
}else {
$array = $object;
}
return $array;
}


yes i have,
recursive call of the function array2object for multidimensional arrays

function array2object($arrGiven){
//create empty class
$objResult=new stdClass();

foreach ($arrLinklist as $key => $value){
//recursive call for multidimensional arrays
if(is_array($value)) $value=array2object($value);


$objResult->{$key}=$value;
}
return $objResult;
}
